“So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” Judges 6:15 NKJV
We often feel inadequate because of our many weaknesses. But sometimes God works through our weaknesses better than through our perceived strengths.
We see it in Gideon. Chosen by God to lead an army, he didn’t feel that he was up to the job.
Often our doubts and fears only really surface when we’re about to be tested. But our sense of weakness is no barrier to God. “I will be with you,” said God to Gideon. And He says it to us too.
I often draw strength from the words of apostle Paul. “And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.....” II Corinthians 12:9 NKJV.
Don’t run or hide from your weaknesses, lay them before the Almighty God. He will replace your weaknesses with His own strength. Just ask Him.
Father, by your grace and mercy, let your strength be made perfect in my weaknesses IJN.
Shalom!
